I’m not naive enough to claim Apple actually took my idea. I’m sure they just happened to be working on a similar concept. I’m just claiming that they unfairly biased the review process, not wishing for someone to come out with it first.

    According to Apple, no one wanted such a flashy weather app. They were so certain of this that they built one themselves.



ecib:

I don't know. Apple's weather app (animations included) looks nothing even remotely like his, and there are a ton of weather apps that have had animations for a long time now.

And the screenshots he links to? They sort of do have a "my first submission" into the app store kind of vibe to me. That's just me though.

Nothing he claims is new in his app is new, and it's not even kinda new.

Now if Yahoo! had written this post I could totally get behind it. Apple's new weather app is crazy similar to theirs. Their design team must be either flattered or pissed or both right about now.
